Usage

Android example

The following example releases a Android app to Google Play Store without needing to manually specify the app version:

desc "submit to internal track in Google Play Store"
lane :internal do
  Dir.chdir "../.." do sh("flutter", "build", "appbundle", "--release") end # Call Flutter Build
  gradle(task: 'bundle', build_type: 'Release')
  upload_to_play_store(
    track: 'internal',
    version_code: flutter_version()["version_code"],
    aab: '../build/app/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab',
    skip_upload_screenshots: true,
    skip_upload_images: true
  )
end

The line flutter_version() fetches the version information from the pubspec.yaml file from the Flutter project and parses the version information from the file. This is convenient for continuous integration because it saves the effort for developers to keep track of version information in multiple places.

For more details, check out the example project configuration.

iOS example

The following example releases an iOS app to TestFlight without needing to manually specify the app version or build number:

desc "submit to TestFlight"
lane :internal do
  Dir.chdir "../.." do sh("flutter", "build", "ios", "--release", "--no-codesign") end # Call Flutter Build
  # https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/increment_version_number/
  increment_version_number(
    xcodeproj: "Runner.xcodeproj",
    version_number: flutter_version()["version_name"] # Set a specific version number
  )
  # https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/increment_build_number/
  increment_build_number(
    xcodeproj: "Runner.xcodeproj",
    build_number: flutter_version()["version_code"] # Set a specific build number
  )
  build_app(workspace: "Runner.xcworkspace", export_method: "app-store")
  upload_to_testflight
end
